hypothetical question about ccw and alcohol

[dlbleak]

what is protocol if you have your ccw with you in the car but someone else is driving? lets say you've a had a drink or two. leave it in the console.lock it in the trunk? i know the answer is to not have it with you at all or at least lock it up, but what are the legal ramifications?

 

[doctorjj]

Just unload it.

Just an observation - why would anyone jeopardize their CCW in this manner? Booze n bullets don't mix. Just thinking out loud.

I would put it in the trunk so there is no question. In the car is good IF the other person has their CCW. Remember, you and your gun should not be loaded at the same time!

I had a double tonight at dinner. Left my CCW in the center console, then drove home with it there.

A double Scotch doesn't do much for me anymore, especially over an hour-long dinner, but I can see the point and that's why I left it in the car. No need to risk anything. I sure wouldn't carry it if I were going to be doing any substantial drinking. Which I usually only do at home when settled in for a night of movies with the wife, anyways.
